Your trees are stunning! Believe it or not, we are just now beginning to see the tiniest peek of color here. Most of my plants are having a new burst of energy because of the cooler air. I do have pansies waiting for their spot in the ground though so it's about time to pull things out.

You really have lots of colour in the trees there. Very pretty! I put the last of my summer flowers down on Friday morning before the storm came. It's the latest I've kept them growing so I got to enjoy them for a long time. It's really looking and feeling like November up here now. At least you can grow some veggies all winter long there. That would be really nice to enjoy. ;)

I like how you wrote goodbye to your garden. She did do a special show for you the last few months. I was given a lettuce garden for my table, but sad to say, it does not look near as robust and healthy as yours does. I need lessons. I needed a dose of beauty, and I thank you for sharing that with me today, especially via your first picture, and the gorgeous trees.

Kim,The geranium is so pretty, and the color is so vibrant. I still have a few roses blooming in my front yard, but not for long, as we are in full Autumn here and getting colder every day. Your yard looks so green and groomed. There's nothing like homegrown tomatoes, is there?

It was really hard to say goodbye to the tomatoes this year. That's my favorite of the garden produce. You just can't get a tasty tomato at the grocery store. I never thought about planting lettuce in a bowl or planter. Great idea!

Hello KimOh it is so hard saying goodbye to all the beauty the Summer season provides.The tomatoes will have a special flavor at this time of year and your geranium has been a very generous bloomer I imagine.It will be nice curling up by the fire for a few months though!I enjoy the winter months - there's time for planning the garden for next year, scanning plant catalogues and the like!!
